Ho.Ly. Cupcakes. Has any one else's May flown by like mine has? I have been knitting my little heart out and all of a sudden I realized I haven't blogged (or cleaned my house) in weeks. We ended up eating out like 4 straight days last week and over the weekend because I had been too busy to even get to the grocery store, and we had run out of anything edible.

So, after the photo shoot for my book I got through super sneaky project #1 (remember that from here? Oh my, that was exactly a month ago), which I sent off on Saturday, then I went through the first draft of my manuscript, I taught a few classes, and I am finishing up the last sample of my next etsy pattern tonight. As I type this it doesn't feel like that much, but man, I haven't felt like I have even had enough time to breath this month!

So, after I finish up the etsy pattern(which will come out in June) I am helping out at my LYS Friday-Sunday this weekend for the LYS Tour, and then I am taking a little me time and only working on projects for myself the next week or so. It has been so wild I just need a couple weeks of downtime to calm my nerves.

But, now that the May projects are finished, expect to see me back working at my goal of blogging 5 days a week. I should have lots to talk about with my personal knitting projects I have planned!

Ah yes, but instead of my Clapotis I bring you the only thing getting me going today:

Ugh, I am not feeling very on it today, so get ready for a rather jumpy, non-sensical post.

I know I have been silent this week. I was down at my publisher tuesday and wednesday for the photo shoot for my book. It was so much fun, the folks at my publisher and are so nice and it was absolutely amazing to be able to be there to see the book start to come to life.

The rest of the week was spent frantically knitting as fast as I could since I realized it was May 1st this week (or, today, as the case is), and I am doing a pattern for a yarn company for TNNA which is like a month away at this point. I had one other project I needed to get through first and now it is all pattern writing for the yarn company this week. Today I start another basic sock class at the yarn shop and finish up my Clapotis KAL. Unfortunately I got little to nothing done on my Clapotis this week, but I think I can get a good chunk of it done during the KAL. Or, hopefully.

Can you believe it is May 1st already? I can't, I have no clue where the rest of the year has gone.

I am now off to hop in the shower since I will be up close and personal with my students and don't want to be stinky. That is all I have to say.
